How is the iPhone 15 Pro Max regarding performance and battery?

I want to buy iphone 15 pro max but I am hesitant because of the reviews and news I heard when it was released regarding the heating issue and other problems so I want to make sure if things were solved or not yet before I buy it.

I bought one today. I asked if it had issues and they said no. The worst phone I ever had. I have to say that I am switching from an 8 pro.. My 8 holds battery charge just the same, it is way faster and has less issues. Google wont open and the worst is.. I am big into music- slurs the songs so bad i didnt know how to stop it faster!

Not responding to apps, and google won't open....I am returning it along with the charger I bought just for it!

YES! Dropping calls, apps not responding, when texting there’s pauses before the text box appears, then cannot send the text, have to completely close text and start over again, cant hear phone ring, turn volume up and some how it goes down, just a whole hosts of problems that I’ve never experienced before. I have to often perform hard resets just so all the aforementioned glitches will go away only to start again.

I have all those issues with my iPhone 15pro max. Constantly having to verify im not a robot, when there is a program to prevent that already hardwired into the device. I gave up and ignored all the issues. The weird messages I get browsing on safari, that I am not verified or something and can’t keep on the page, the messages that pop up in some small type at the top of a blank page telling me I’m kicked off the page basically. I have to use chrome. My phone heats up but I’m used to that my 12 pro max did the same. I was excited about getting this phone but now I just want my old phone back

My 3 month old Iphone 15 Pro was just sent back for warranty claim due to a few problems.

1) charging problem - the phone could not be charged with the USB-C cable, however when I used my MagSafe charger it charged up just fine

2) screen problem - the screen just froze and no matter how many times you reset it, it just doesn’t fix itself!


Was wondering if anyone else is facing this problem 🤔

Mine (iphone 15 promax) would show pink screen when using apps and sometimes even outside the apps. Brought it to an apple official repair center and after 1 week they sent it back to me only to encounter the same problem. I’m asking them to just replace the whole unit still waiting for their update on it. Bought my unit december 29, 2023.

Because you don’t have any issues with your phone, we should

all shut up?


The issues with my phone are real, they’re not in my imaginations.


I bought a $1,200 phone that has issues. My previous iPhone

XR worked perfectly (I should have kept it)


There isn’t any “hysteria” just people who are disappointed in

a (very expensive) product they bought, hoping the problems be corrected.

Don't put words in my mouth. Please point out where I told anyone to shut up? You won't be able to because I never said anything of the sort. I responded to someone who asked if the issues have been resolved. I simply commented that we've had NO issues and to not assume that everyone who has purchased an iPhone 15 has had issues. And I never said no one has had issues either.

This is your interpretation, which is unfortunately not correct. I would NEVER EVER suggest people can't list their concerns or issues with their phone here. Anyone is welcome too. I find it odd that you seem to have an issue with me saying my phone is trouble free, but both of our phones are and have been since day one. It's good for people to see that not everyone is having issues. And it's fine to see some are having issues. But look at this thread. It was opened on November 12th. And now over 4 months later, it has only 3 pages of comments. This is the most visited, highly visible and used forum for and about iPhone, in the world. If the majority of users were having issues out of the millions upon millions of iPhone 15 models sold and being used, one might think this thread would be far bigger. But it's not and that's likely because most people aren't having issues.


I'm sorry if you are having any issues with your phone, but I stand by my commentary.
